This is a function of Word's AutoCorrect feature. Tools - AutoCorrect
Options - AutoCorrect tab; remove the checks next to Capitalize first
letter...
Per Rae's response... note also that when you press Enter, Word treats
whatever follows as a new paragraph, and hence, as a new sentence. So, if
the AutoCorrect features noted are turned on, then you will see what you are
seeing.
